Scott, Taylor, Parker, Whittingstall (c), Rolfe, McKew, Lloyd, Steed (Leckie 60mins), Yarnton (Shearwood 60mins), Jones (Woolnough 75mins), Hadley The only player not available this week was Sophie Barham who unfortunately needs an operation to repair her injury. Sophie is due to have the operation Friday week (30th October) and we all hope she has a very speedy recovery. It was important to start this game sharp with good movement and slick passing to counter the team and pitch in front of us. As soon as the game started we failed on every front. So we were in for a long hard boring afternoon. I must at this point say the long dry spell we have encountered and the quality of match ball supplied does nothing to improve matters. That said it was the same for both sides. The game was played with both defences pushing up creating a playing area of about 70sm. The deadlock was broken in the 27th min with a rare period of sharp and incisive passing from the back to front. This move culminated in Sami Jones receiving that ball manufacturing a yard of space and curling the ball past the keeper into the net. This moment of quality was quickly followed by a second goal. After winning a corner the ball was delivered into the box and for once we attacked the cross and Stacey Hadley forced the ball over the line. At this point it was anticipated that we may go on and take the game away from Taverham. This proved to be a false dawn and the half drew t a close with no further score. Half-Time 0-2 It was hoped that the second half would be an improvement on the first. This was not to be the case and there was also no further change to the score line. Taverham only being two nil down were still very much in the game and had they shown a little more coolness in front of goal the game might have gone to extra time. A game that will not linger long in the memory although we did keep another clean sheet and are in the next round! Full-Time 0-2 (Jones, Hadley)
